An Andorep woman.

This story is told of the wife Of an emil
uent benefactor of the town, whose resi-
dence was on the 'sHill.' One day while
the lady was in the midst of preparations
for the midday meal this was in the
olden time when people got up in the
morning and had dinner at the proper
time) caller was announced. Hastily
leaving the kitchen where she was over
seeing operations she entered the next
room where the visitor was. The door
between the two was open, and pretty
soon the lady broke off the conversation
and called to the "'help'' in the kitchen:
''Nancy, does the kettle boil?''
ssNo, MAN"
Then the conversation was renewed, to
be broken again in few minutes by the
inquiry;
NANCY, does the kettle boil?''
''No, m am. "
'"Then take the pine stick in the corner
and put it on the fire" This was pre-
sumably done, for shortly after, when
I'm am" repeated her question:
Nancy, does the kettle boil?''
eyes, m am, . was the answer.
''Then take off the pine stick and put
it in the corner
This shows a spirit of saving hardly to
be surpassed. Boston Record.

Surprises in Surgery.

Numerous instances have been recorded
of late in the medical journals of the
complete reunion of portions of fingers
which had been cut off from the hand,
in some cases by the knife and in others
by the ak. In one case man, in cutting
kindlings for the morning fire, acct
dentaRy cut off the end of his thumb.
He had gone from the place some twenty
feet, when he returned, picked up the
end, wiped it and replaced it, binding it
in its original place as nearly as possible.
The wound united, and the finger is now
as good as ever, save that its sensibility is
somewhat diminished. In another case
a boy chopped off the ends of three
fingers. He was seen by a physician
three or four hours after the accident.
The ends of the fingers had been found
in the snow, and were brought to him.
He attached them, and two of the three
united. -Science.

Antwerp Cathedral Pulpit.

The cathedral pulpit is quite wonder
full work of art. 1t is all of wood elabor-
ately carved. Four female figures, life
size, support the pulpit proper. These
represent the four races, white, red
black and yellow, supporting the Gospel
The railing to the pulpit stairs is sur
mounted with a series of animals, mostly
birds, representing the vices. Their
meaning is not at first apparent, and the
effect, to me, was so lacking in dignity
as to be almost ludicrous. These figures,
too, are of life size, and the series COM
mences with a growing cock, and ends
with bushy tailed squirrel. The csrv-
ing is well executed, and there is much
fine work, leaves, flowers, etc.-Brattle-

Advice to Hack Drivers.

In the Police G urt yesterday a hack
driver was charge with refusing to obey
the orders of the Hack Inspector. AT
the Rifles ball the other night George
Baker, hack driver, was told to move
on by Sam Macy or he would be ar
rested. He defied the Inspector to arrest
him. However, he was taken to the
Station House. His Honor, after hear
ing the evidence, discharged him, but
said that if he had been civil he would
not have been brought up in Court. 1t
was not wise thing for drivers to talk
back to the Inspector. The law COM
PEELED them to heed the orders given by
the Inspector at any time.

The Manufacture of Hairplns.

For years the English and French con-
trolled the manufacture of hairpins, and
it is only within the last twenty years
that the goods have been produced in this
country to any extent. The machinery used
is of a delicate and intricate character,
as the prices at which pins are sold neces-
states the most rapid and cheapest prs
cess, which can only be secured by auto
matte machines The wire is made ex-
pressely for the purpose and plt up in
large coils, which are placed on reels, and
the end of tie wire is placed in a clamp
which carries it to the machines while
Strengthening it; from there it runs in
another machine, which cuts, bends, and,
by a delicate and instantaneous process,
sharpens the points. Running at full
speed, these machines will turn out 100
hairpins every minute To economic it
is necessary to keep them working night
and day.
The difficult part of the work is the
enameling, w1ich is done by dipping in a
preparation and baking in an oven. Here
is where the most constant and careful
attention is required, as the pin must
be perfectly smooth and the enamel have
a perfect polish. The slightest particles of
dust, cause imperfections and roughness.
which is Objectionable. Stoves and Hard
ware.
